Question relates to validity of timing of issuance of the fixed charge notice.
Not to the how long one has to respond to the fixed charge notice nor to the timing for issuance of the summons.
I know what Chum is asking but the gap between the offence and issuing of the fine is not relevant. The important date is the date in the top right hand corner of the notice, not date of the offence. Thats the date the Fines Office go by and dictates the length of time you got to sort it out before higher payments or summons time.
